The GT430 is also lighter than the Evora 410 with a dry weight of just over 2,700 pounds. On the outside it gets a new aero kit with exposed carbon weave sections to generates up to 551 lbs (250 kg) of downforce. The GT430 also gets larger front apertures, a new carbon fiber splitter, air blades and louvers positioned on top of each front wheel arch. At the rear, aero ducts behind each wheel reduce pressure in the wheel arch and a large rear diffuser provides a sharp visual finish. Lastly the GT430 is finished off with a large, profiled carbon wing.

There are also new dynamic stability modes (with ‘Drive‘, ‘Sport’, ‘Race’ and ‘Off’ settings) that can be selected. The Evora GT430 also includes a newly developed variable traction control function, which allows the amount of wheel slip to be set by the driver whilst in ‘Race / Off’ setting, with five pre-set traction levels (1%, 3%, 6%, 9%, 12% slip).
